Deuteronomy 32:4-18

4The Rock, his work is perfect;For all his ways are justice:A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,Just and right is he.5They have dealt corruptly with him, they are not his children, it is their blemish;They area perverse and crooked generation.6Do ye thus requite Jehovah,O foolish people and unwise?Is not he thy father that hath bought thee?He hath made thee, and established thee.7Remember the days of old,Consider the years of many generations:Ask thy father, and he will show thee;Thine elders, and they will tell thee.8When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,When he separated the children of men,He set the bounds of the peoplesAccording to the number of the children of Israel.9For Jehovah’s portion is his people;Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.10He found him in a desert land,And in the waste howling wilderness;He compassed him about, he cared for him,He kept him as the apple of his eye.11As an eagle that stirreth up her nest,That fluttereth over her young,He spread abroad his wings, he took them,He bare them on his pinions.12Jehovah alone did lead him,And there was no foreign god with him.13He made him ride on the high places of the earth,And he did eat the increase of the field;And he made him to suck honey out of the rock,And oil out of the flinty rock;14Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock,With fat of lambs,And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,With the finest of the wheat;And of the blood of the grape thou drankest wine.15But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked:Thou art waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art become sleek;Then he forsook God who made him,And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.16They moved him to jealousy with strange gods;With abominations provoked they him to anger.17They sacrificed unto demons, which were no God,To gods that they knew not,To newgodsthat came up of late,Which your fathers dreaded not.18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,And hast forgotten God that gave thee birth.
